Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 1/2 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted (1 1/2 ounces)

Preparation:

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Combine eggs and sugar; beat at medium speed of an electric mixer until thick and lemon-colored. Add oil and flour mixture; beat just until blended.

Combine coconut and 1/2 cup batter; set aside. Stir chocolate into remaining batter. Pour chocolate mixture into a greased and floured 8-inch square pan. Dollop coconut mixture on top. Swirl with a knife or narrow metal spatula to give a marbled look. Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack; cut into bars.
Makes about 16 coconut chocolate bars.
